Very Surprised
I found myself out of town and found this golf course and I must say I was very surprised. The neighborhood may not be the best but the course is wonderful. It's only 9 holes but it is in wonderful condition and they keep it in good shape. I will visit here again when in the neighborhood.
Great 9 holes practice course
I enjoyed playing at John H White. An awesome layout and convenient course for quick round of golf.
First Impression
You only get one shot at a first impression,
I walked in to the club house and gave the attendant my name and told him that I would be walking at 3pm, and he responded with that'll be $12 dollars. I responded with check your computer for James Wilson (this time gave him my full name), at 3 o clock. He immediately got defensive with me and asked me how was I to know, but you're all set. I asked if I needed anything for the starter, he replied very curtly that "I am the starter, I'm running the whole show"! I then asked the names of my playing partners, and he replied, "you can go right now if you want". I preferred to wait instead of playing alone.
I knew this was a "First Tee" golf course, and I knew it was going to be in great shape, but many of the tee boxes had no grass, and the greens looked as if they hadn't been cut in days.
Because it was a hot deal and the price was right, and I choose to walk for the exercise, I got what I wanted to get accomplished!
It's to early in the season for the greens and tee boxes to be in such bad conditions. However, I'll give them another chance, because "The First Tee" will get it together or take their name off the facility!
Respectfully Yours
Great for beginners
This course was wonderful. Everyone was so helpful (I lost my ball in the woods by the maintenance building and the maintenance associate helped me find it!). The holes are relatively straight and not terribly long from the red tees. We are by no means "serious golfers" but we hit a few decent shots and enjoyed the beautiful day. There were a decent number of people out but we never felt rushed or intimidated by our lack of skill.
We will definitely be back!
Excellent course to work on your game!!!
The staff has always been very welcoming and kind. Mr. Brown has a great personality and Mr. Chuck keeps everyone smiling. The greens were a little slow on holes 3, 6, and 8 but they were consistent, just time for a trim!!!
Great Greens
Greens were excellent. Local knowledge is a must, so plan on playing 18. Just 9 holes( 2 times around) but different tees.
Good for practice
The course has some nice holes. Fairways are mostly in good condition. A couple paces in need of repair, but not extensive. Greens rolled true.
Always Enjoy Going!
I always enjoy this course. Price is great. Decent fairways and greens. Plus you really get to use every club in the bag. Nice Mixture of par 3s, 4s, and 5s.
Old school layout
This course offers a great old school layout with small elevated greens, so take extra club if called for. The grounds keepers do a great job of keeping this course free of leaves and the greens weren't in bad shape at all, and the golf staff is very welcoming and friendly. Anytime I have a chance to play here I most definitely will.
Jewel in Southwest Atlanta
This was a really nice course. The greens were great, the fairways were clean and leaf free. I loved the layout. God mixture of holes. Way more than I expected. Looking forward to playing there again. Golf Now Hot Deal made it worth the try, I'm glad I did.
Upper Shelf Greens
John White is a bit challenging. Tight fairways,elevated greens and small greens require precision golfing. With that being said, John White is course friendly. I'm a California Native., and l plan on playing this 9 hole course again before heading back west. 12/23/16
Great 9 hole course.
Great course, unfortunately a golfer had his cart stolen with all of his personal items in it. Really sad, because this is not a bad area and the course is great.
Fullers,
Thank you for your review of our facility. Take confidence that we are developing a comprehensive plan to ensure that similar incidents do not happen again. We appreciate your support, and we hope to see you again soon.
Great Value
Last 2 greens a little rough but this was well worth the money
Eastico,
Appreciate you stopping by to see us. With the cooler weather in recent weeks, those last 2 greens have improved and will continue to do as they repair themselves. Thank you for your patience and support!
Nice 9 hole gem
I was 1st off @8 am on a Sunday I really liked the course a nice layout plent of variation in elevation and green size. Take an extra club or 2 if it's cold with the elevation changes. I hit very precise yardages and found myself 20-30 below the hole pretty consistently. I hit 7 out of 9 GIR the long putts on relatively slow greens cost me three 3 putts. I did very much like the course and will play it again soon. Staff was freidly and helpfully. Played 9 in 1 hr 14 min.
RadiantSimplicity,
Thank you for your review, and your patronage of our facility. We appreciate it, and so do the youth of the First Tee of Atlanta. Hope to see you soon!
Always a Challenge
I have played here at least 10 times since I moved to Georgia and this course challenges me every time. The tree lines will play tricks with your depth perception. Will be back again in a month with these great prices on Golfnow.
Kenya,
Thank you so much for your kind words about our facility. We hope to see you again, real soon!
Fun day on a nice track
Good customer service, everyone greeted me with a smile
Nice track with a couple of par 5's
new cart paths, quick round, good greens, not easy to break par. Enjoy
gmcarter2012,
Thank you so much for your kind review of our golf course! We really appreciate it, and so do the children of The First Tee of Atlanta!!
Best round ever
Great course a few of the Greens needed work around the edges 8&9 and the sand bunkers other than that it would be excellent/perfect in my opinion. Still shot my best round ever 38 on 1st 9holes and 37 on 2nd 9holes. @75 and 5 over par from white tees. No mulligansuch, foot wedges, or give-me's etc. true stroke play golf by FIRST TEE HIGH ETHICAL STANDARDS FOR THEIR YOUTH.
Best in Atlanta
This is by far the nicest public golf course that I've played at in the Atlanta area. Worlds better than Candler Park, Charlie Yates, Browns Mill, etc. The course was in excellent shape and the greens were phenomenal. It's a very short course, but the greens are extremely challenging.
Thanks so much for your review of our facility! Tell a friend to tell a friend, and we hope to see you soon!
